2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company
represents and warrants to the Placement Agent and each Selected Dealer, if any,
as follows:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of its
subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries") which, for purposes of this Agency Agreement
means any entity in which the Company, directly and/or indirectly, owns capital
stock and holds a majority or similar interest, are duly organized and validly
existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they were
organized, and have the requisite power and authorization to own their
properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted. Each of the
Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do
business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of
property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification
necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in
good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agency
Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse effect on the
business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations or financial
condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole, or on
the transactions contemplated hereby, or by the other Transaction Documents or
the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or
therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents. Except as set forth on Schedule
2(a) to this Agreement, the Company has no Subsidiaries and the Company does not
own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other equity ownership or
proprietary interests in any other corporation, association, trust, partnership,
joint venture or other entity. The Company owns all of the issued and

free and clear of all liens, options or encumbrances of any kind and all claims
or charges of any kind, and is validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable,
and there are not outstanding options, rights or agreements of any kind relating
to the issuance, sale or transfer of any capital stock or other equity
securities of any such subsidiary to any person except the Company.
(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agency Agreement and other Transaction Documents, to
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, and to issue the
Securities (as well as the Agent Warrants and all securities underlying the
Agent Warrants ) in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents. The
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the filing of the
Certificate of Designations by the Company and the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including without
limitation the issuance of the Securities (as well as the Agent Warrants and all
underlying securities), have been duly authorized by the Company's Board of
Directors and no further consent or authorization is required by the Company,
its Board of Directors or its stockholders. The Transaction Documents have been
duly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles
-3-
of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement
of creditors' rights and remedies.
(c) Capitalization. The authorized, issued and outstanding
securities of the Company prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby is as set forth in Schedule 2(c) (which, other than any securities issued

validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Except for the Securities and as

subject to preemptive rights under law or any other similar rights or any liens
or encumbrances suffered or permitted by the Company; (ii) there are no
outstanding debt securities issued by the Company; (iii) there are no
outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights
convertible into or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, or contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become
bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights
convertible into or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) there are no agreements or arrangements under
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale
of any of their securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"); (v) there are no outstanding securities of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries which contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there
are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to redeem a security
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) there are no securities or
instruments containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be
triggered by the issuance of the Securities (and the Agent Warrants and all
underlying securities) as described in the Transaction Documents; and (vii) the

Documents. Prior to the Initial Closing (as defined in Section 3(a) below), such
number of shares of Common Stock as the Placement Agent shall specify will be
duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares and exercise of the Warrants and the Agent Warrants. In the event the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the
Preferred Shares, the Agent Warrants and/or the Warrants exceed the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company shall immediately use its best
efforts to seek stockholder approval of and file a Certificate of Amendment to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of
shares of Common Stock accordingly. Upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
-4-
and/or exercise of the Warrants and Agent Warrants, the Conversion Shares, the
Warrant Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Agent Warrants will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a
holder of Common Stock. Assuming (i) the accuracy of the information provided by
the respective Subscribers in the Subscription Agreement and Investor
Questionnaires, (ii) that all of the offerees and Subscribers are "accredited
investors" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, and (iii) that
the Placement Agent has not engaged, nor will engage, in connection with the
Offering, in any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the
meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D, the offer and sale of the Preferred
Shares and the Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Agency Agreement are and
will be exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company is not disqualified from the
exemption under Regulation D by virtue of the disqualification contained in Rule
507 thereof or otherwise.
(e) Non-Defaults; Non-Contravention. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of or default under, nor will the
execution and delivery of this Agency Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents including, but not limited to, the Subscription Agreement, the
Certificate of Designations, the Agent Warrants, and the Warrants, or
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein result (I) in a
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including,
but not limited to, federal and state securities laws and regulations and the
rules and regulations of the NASD) applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound or affected, or (II) in a violation of or constitute a
default in the performance or observance of any obligation under their
respective (i) Articles of Incorporation, other documents governing outstanding
securities, or By-Laws (each as amended), (ii) any indenture, mortgage,
contract, security agreement, loan agreement, material purchase order or other
agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a
party or by which any of them or any of their property is bound or affected,
where such violation or default would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii)
any material order, writ, injunction or decree of any court of any Federal,
state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau,
agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, where such violation or default
would have a Material Adverse Effect, and there exists no condition, event or
act which constitutes, nor which after notice, the lapse of time or both, could
constitute a default under any of the foregoing, which in either case would have
a Material Adverse Effect.

and filings required pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws
and blue sky laws, which filings, the Company covenants to complete within the
required statutory period, the Company is not required to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or

the Transaction Documents. Except as otherwise provided in the Transaction
Documents, all consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which

(h) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, its
Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, nor any person acting on their behalf
has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or
solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require

for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions,
including without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or
automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are
listed or designated, or otherwise. Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries, their
affiliates nor any person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps
referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of any of

Restated Articles of Incorporation or the laws of the state of its incorporation
which is or could become applicable to the Subscriber as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agency Agreement, including without
limitation, the Company's issuance of the Securities (including the Agent

(all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included
therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents
incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the "SEC
Documents"). As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all
material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents,
and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC,
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents (collectively, the "Financial Statements")

indebtedness, and financial condition of the Company as of the dates thereof and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments that will not be material).

operations, business, key personnel or properties of the Company and/or any of
its Subsidiaries which would be material to the business or financial condition
of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company and/or its

Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign
regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except
where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would
not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, all such
certificates, authorizations and permits are in full force and effect, and

the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or basis therefor known to the Company).
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any judgment,
order, writ, injunction or decree of any Federal, state, municipal or other
governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality,
domestic or foreign.

Act, and the Company will file all appropriate notices of offering with the SEC.
The Transaction Documents do not and will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading. If at any time prior to the completion of the Offering or other
termination of this Agreement any event shall occur as a result of which it
might become necessary to amend or supplement the Transaction Documents so that
they do not include any untrue statement of any material fact or omit to state
any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances then existing, not misleading, the Company will promptly
notify the Placement Agent and will supply the Placement Agent with amendments
or supplements correcting such statement or omission. The Company will also

trade names, service marks, service xxxx registrations, service names, patents,

not reasonably be expected to have either individually or in the aggregate a

"Investor") purchase (and/or arranges a purchase) any (debt and/or equity)
securities of the Company and/or its affiliates either through a direct
investment in exchange for assets, through a merger, or an acquisition, exchange
offer or otherwise (a "Transaction"), then the Company shall (i) pay to the
Placement Agent (and/or its designees) for each Transaction during the Fee Event
Period, a cash fee equal to eight and one-half (8.5%) percent of the gross
proceeds received in each such Transaction, and (ii) issue to the Placement
Agent, warrants to purchase in the aggregate twelve (12%) percent of the
identical securities issued to investors in each such Transaction at the lowest
price paid by Investors in the Transaction, and with the most favorable
-20-
registration rights as any investors in any such Transaction received (the cash
and warrants to be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent pursuant to this
Section 4(j) shall be collectively referred to as the "Fee").
(ii) In the event that for any reason the Company shall
fail to pay to the Placement Agent all or any portion of the finder's fee
payable hereunder when due, interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid
cash balance due hereunder from the date when first due through and including
the date when actually collected by the Placement Agent, at a rate equal to four
(4%) percent above the prime rate of Citibank, N.A., in New York, New York,
computed on a daily basis and adjusted as announced from time to time.
(iii) The Company expressly agrees that the Placement
Agent shall be given ten (10) business days' prior written notice of the exact
time and place of closing of a Transaction and shall be supplied with all
transaction documents (including closing documents) used in the Transaction.
Each notice shall provide a detailed description of the Transaction, the
investors (including names and addresses) and the determination of the
compensation to be paid to the Placement Agent. The Company also expressly
agrees that the Placement Agent shall have the right to attend all closing(s) of
a Transaction.
(k) SEC Documents. The shares of Common Stock are registered
under Section 12 of the 1934 Act. Since its inception, the Company has filed all
reports, registration statements and other documents, together with any
amendments thereto, required to be filed under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act
including, without limitation, reports on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB and Form 8-K.
The Company has satisfied all of its obligations to keep all of its SEC
Documents effective for the benefit of any selling securityholders or otherwise.
As of their respective dates, the Company's SEC Documents complied or will
comply in all material respects with all rules and regulations promulgated by
the SEC and did not or will not contain any untrue statements of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.
(l) Right of First Refusal. From the date following the Initial
Closing until the date two (2) years following the final Closing, in further
consideration of its agreement to act as Placement Agent, the Company hereby
irrevocably grants to the Placement Agent a right of first refusal to act as the
exclusive agent or manager or, in the sole discretion of the Placement Agent, as
co-manager for any financing transactions by the Company of its equity and/or
debt securities (the "Right"). If the Company receives a bona fide offer from
any third party to serve as sole or managing agent in such offering, which the
Company is willing to accept, the Company shall promptly give written notice
thereof to the Placement Agent, including all material terms and conditions of
such offer. The Placement Agent shall then have fifteen (15) business days after
receipt of such written notice to elect to enter into an agreement with the
Company as sole or managing agent on the same terms and conditions as set forth
in the Company's written notice and ninety (90) days to fund such offering. If
the Placement Agent declines to exercise its Right or fails to notify the
Company within the fifteen (15) business day period of an election to invoke its
Right, the Company may enter into an agreement with such third party from whom
it has received a bona fide offer and the Placement Agent's right hereunder
shall thereupon terminate. If, however, the Company fails to enter into such an
agreement with such third party or if the terms and conditions of such offer are
thereafter materially changed, the Right granted to the Placement Agent shall
once again apply.
-21-
5. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Placement Agent and each selected dealer, if any, and their respective
stockholders, directors, officers, agents and controlling persons (an
"Indemnified Party") against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever (and all actions in respect thereof), and to reimburse the
Placement Agent for all legal fees and related expenses as incurred (including,
but not limited to the costs of investigating, preparing or defending any such
action or claim whether or not in connection with litigation in which the
Placement Agent is a party and the costs of giving testimony or furnishing
documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise), caused by or arising out of
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Transaction Documents or the omission or alleged omission
therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii)
any violation by the Company of the federal securities laws or the securities
laws of any states, or otherwise arising out of the Placement Agent's engagement
hereunder, or (iii) any breach by the Company of any of its representations,
agreements, obligations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agency
Agreement.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this
Section of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this
Section, notify in writing the Company of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability which
it may have to the Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section except to
the extent the defense of the claim is prejudiced. In case any such action is
brought against an Indemnified Party, and it notifies the Company of the
commencement thereof, the Company will be entitled to participate in, and, to
the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein
stated, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after
notice from the Company to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnified Party
under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation (provided the Company has been advised in writing that
such investigation is being undertaken). The Indemnified Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the
expense of the Company if the Company has assumed the defense of the action with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company if (i) the
employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the
Company (which it shall have no obligation to do) or (ii) the named parties to
any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified
Party or Parties and the Company and, in the reasonable judgment of counsel for
the Indemnified Party, it is advisable for the Indemnified Party or Parties to
be represented by separate counsel due to material conflict of interest (in
which case the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of an Indemnified Party or Parties), it being understood,
however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or
-22-
separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for all
the Indemnified Parties. No settlement by an Indemnified Party of any action
against an Indemnified Party shall be made without the Company's consent which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. No settlement of any action against an
Indemnified Party by the Company shall be made unless such an Indemnified Party
is fully and completely released in connection therewith.
6. Contribution. To provide for just and equitable contribution, if
(i) an Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 5
but it is found in a final judicial determination, not subject to further
appeal, that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though
this Agency Agreement expressly provides for indemnification in such case, or
(ii) any indemnified or indemnifying party seeks contribution under the 1933
Act, the 1934 Act, or otherwise, then the Company (including for this purpose
any contribution made by or on behalf of any officer, director, employee or
agent for the Company, or any controlling person of the Company), on the one
hand, and the Placement Agent and any Selected Dealers (including for this
purpose any contribution by or on behalf of an indemnified party), on the other
hand, shall contribute to the losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses
whatsoever to which any of them may be subject, in such proportions as are
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one
hand, and the Placement Agent and the Selected Dealers, on the other hand;
provided, however, that if applicable law does not permit such allocation, then
other relevant equitable considerations such as the relative fault of the
Company and the Placement Agent and the Selected Dealers in connection with the
facts which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses
shall also be considered. In no case shall the Placement Agent or a Selected
Dealer be responsible for a portion of the contribution obligation in excess of
the compensation received by it or the Selected Dealer Agreement, as the case
may be. No person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person, if any, who
controls the Placement Agent or a Selected Dealer within the meaning of Section
15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act and each officer, director,
shareholder, employee and agent of the Placement Agent or a Selected Dealer,
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agent or the
Selected Dealer, and each person, if any who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act and each
officer, director, employee and agent of the Company, shall have the same rights
to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions of this
Section 6. Anything in this Section 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, no party
shall be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement of any claim or
action effected without its written consent. This Section 6 is intended to
supersede any right to contribution under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, or
otherwise.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Survival. Any termination of the Offering without
consummation thereof shall be without obligation on the part of any party except
that the Finder's Fee provisions set forth in Section 4(i) hereof, the right of
first refusal provisions set forth in Section 4(l) hereof, the indemnification
provided in Section 5 hereof and the contribution provided in Section 6 hereof
shall survive any termination and shall survive the Final Closing for a period
of three (3) years.
-23-
(b) Representations, Warranties and Covenants to Survive
Delivery. The respective representations, warranties, indemnities, agreements,
covenants and other statements as of the date hereof of the Company shall
survive execution of this Agency Agreement and delivery of the Units and the
termination of this Agency Agreement for a period of three (3) years after such
respective event.
(c) No Other Beneficiaries. This Agency Agreement is intended
for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and controlling persons, and no other person, firm or corporation
shall have any third-party beneficiary or other rights hereunder.
(d) Governing Law; Resolution of Disputes. This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State
of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The
parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that any suite or proceeding arising
directly and/or indirectly pursuant to or under this Agreement, shall be brought
solely in a federal or state court located in the City, County and State of New
York. By its execution hereof, the parties hereby covenant and irrevocably
submit to the in personam jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located
inn the City, County and State of New York and agree that any process in any
such action may be served upon any of them personally, or by certified mail or
registered mail upon them or their agent, return receipt requested, with the
same full force and effect as if personally served upon them in New York City.
The parties hereto waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a
convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in
personam jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or
proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the
other party hereto of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements.
(e) Counterparts. This Agency Agreement may be signed in
counterparts with the same effect as if both parties had signed one and the same
instrument.
(f) Notices. Any communications specifically required hereunder
to be in writing, if sent to the Placement Agent, will be sent by overnight
courier providing a receipt of delivery or by certified or registered mail to it
at Gryphon Financial Securities Corp., 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0X, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx

(g) Entire Agreement. This Agency Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters herein referred and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, written and oral, between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agency
Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived or terminated orally,
except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement
of the change, waiver or termination is sought.
-24-
(h) Termination by Placement Agent. This Agency Agreement is
subject to termination by notice given by the Placement Agent to the Company, if
(i) after the execution and delivery of this Agency Agreement and prior to the
Initial Closing (A) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially
limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the
American Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the
Chicago Board of Trade, (B) trading of any securities of the Company shall have
been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (C) a general
moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared
by either Federal or New York State authorities or (D) there shall have occurred
any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or
any calamity or crises that, in the Placement Agent's judgement, is material and
adverse and (ii) in the case of any of the events specified in Section
7(h)(i)(A) through Section 7(h)(i)(D), such event, singly or together with any
other such event, makes it, in the Placement Agent's reasonable judgement,
impracticable to offer the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated
herein.
(i) No Shorting by Placement Agent. The Placement Agent agrees
that from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of either (i)
the termination of this Agreement or (ii) the Termination Date, it will not sell
short nor advise its clients to sell short any publicly traded security of the
Company.
(j) No General Solicitation. The Placement Agent represents and
warrants that neither the Placement Agent nor, to the best of its knowledge, any
of its affiliates, has engaged, or will engage, in any form of general
solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under
the 0000 Xxx) in connection with the offer or sale of the Units, Preferred
Shares and Warrants.
